Siena had her third Early Intervention visit today! The Occupational Therapist noticed great improvements in Siena's head control and overall movement. The OT showed us some different exercises to perform: joint compressions and a new way to do "tummy time." She mentioned that another very important thing to do starting at this age is infant massage. She is enlisting the help of a Physical Therapist to start sessions on our next visit to teach us massage techniques.
A nutritionist will also join the group to talk about Siena's feeding habits, calorie intake, and weight check. So far Siena is growing gradually and, even though in the lower percentile of weight, she's doing great! Our OT recommended hooking us up with another family nearby who has a one year old with PWS. We feel this is a great idea! This OT is awesome and is also eager to learn about new findings about PWS. Siena's sleep study is next week--looking forward to it!
